Posted by: thepinetree on 01/16/2020 10:29 AM
San Andreas, CA...Winter is upon us and Calaveras County’s projects to eliminate dead trees that are hazardous to County infrastructure will be affected by wet weather and snow cover. Project 25, located between Arnold and Murphys is set to begin on January 13 and affected property owners have been notified. There may be delays at higher elevations if weather prevents safe operations. Project 26 located between Skyhigh Ranch and the County line is on hold until the spring due to snow cover and inaccessibility. Two additional projects located in the West Point-Wilseyville-Railroad Flat area (Projects 9 and 27) have been awarded and will begin in late January. Although it is hoped that operations on those projects can proceed uninterrupted, they also may be affected by winter weather. Property owners who are in any of these projects should feel free to contact the Tree Mortality Program Manager, Dr. Richard Harris, if they have any questions about scheduling. He can be reached at (707) 685-5508 or rrharrisconsulting@gmail.com.

Sacramento, CA...Governor Gavin Newsom submitted his 2020-21 State Budget proposal to the Legislature today which makes responsible investments in the state’s economic future while tackling head-on persistent challenges facing the state. “California’s economic growth has fueled the nation’s economy. As 2020 begins, California’s economy is the strongest in the nation and the fifth largest in the world. We’re eliminating debts, paying down pension liabilities, growing our reserve funds – the largest ever at $21 billion – and one out of every seven new U.S. jobs is in California,” said Governor Newsom. “Despite the progress we’ve made, there are deep, structural challenges that threaten our state’s future and demand our urgent attention. These problems – our widespread affordability crisis, expanding homelessness crisis and catastrophic wildfires – have been decades in the making and won’t be fixed overnight. California is doing more than ever to tackle these challenges and this budget builds on that work with new investments and ideas to take on these longstanding issues.”
